Back in the forest where Mammon resides.
The forest, or what remained of it. It seemed as though multiple natural disasters accured here.
Large areas of the forest were either burned and covered with boiling magma or were frozen over, being nearly covered in ice and snow.
Meanwhile, some areas in between were turned into gold and were trying to stop the magma and ice from further damaging the land.
The manor wasn't in great shape either, as a massive chunk of it seemed to have been blown away.
Inside, Mammon sat on a ruined sofa, staring at his defeated opponent and pouring himself a glass of vodka.
"I can't lie, you gave me a fight. Had me putting my money where my mouth was and I'll even admit it. If I did have all the gold I have and the power of the deals I've made throughout my time on the mortal realm you would have won.
He looked at Lason, who was in shit shape, as most of the left side of his body was gone. Letting his organs fall out. His right eye was stabbed with a golden ornament dagger; his still-beating heart was removed from his guard body and placed inside a small cage which was on the table between them.
"Yeah....for the sin of greed you...are weaker than I expected." Lason said, his mouth filled with his blood. Mind me asking what exactly you have on the priests to get them to do your temporary bidding?"
Mammon smiled as he snapped his fingers and the answer to Lason's question appeared as he stared at the boy with green eyes and brown hair, who was bounded to a table. His arms and legs were tied with chains and two human men stood at the side to gaurd him.
"Hmmm."
"Surprised?
"To a degree considering he's the younger brother of their most promising priest you would have thought they'd be guarding him 24/7." Lason finished staring at Leo with his remaining good eye.
"Yeah, I was surprised on how easy it was to get him at the hospital."
All of a sudden a massive burst of divine energy rose from outside the manor which immediately cause the two gaurds to step back.
When the light faded The 3 exorcists stood together with Lazarus who was bounded in chains of holy light. His arms tied behind him and his legs wrapped together.
Lazarus head hung downward as his hair abstracted his face. He barely breathing as Lason saw 3 blades pirecing his chest, stomach, and neck as his blood flowed down.
Mammon saw this and smiled.
"Woah! I wasn't expecting you guys to succeed but here you are! And you even brought the person i told you to bring back."
Monica's face was barely visible due to her hair but she spoke calm and straight to the point. "You got what you wanted, return my brother to me this instant!"
"Calm down little mama cita. You'll get your brother back as soon as I check the merchandise." Mammon walked over and inspected Lazarus who's body was seriously battered, but was still healing despite the massive blood loss.
*Snap!*
Mammon snapped his fingers and the binds holding Leo released him and he rushed towards Monica and hugged her.
She hugged him back and rubbed his head as he whimpered. "Ssshhhh, it's okay I'm here."
Mikhail spoke to Mammon and began to resight a verse in his tome as pages wrapped around him and the others, but nothing happened.
Sofia noticed the 2 subordinates who stood behind Mammon, with them pulling out their weapons as they stared at her and Monica with lust in their eyes.
"This wasn't the deal you fiend!" Mikhail shouted as he pulled Monica and Leo behind him.
"Oh yeah... I did actually honor our deal as i returned the little nun's baby brother back to her unharmed. But here's the thing, it doesn't say I can do anything to you after the deal is done.
Demons were those beings who you'd have to be careful with your wording wording as one mistake can ruin their plans. Such as right now as he never empathized that he should let them go after returning Leo to them.
Meaning he can do anything to them afterwards.
He grabbed Lazarus by his neck and made him Lazarus's eyes were unfocused. Mammon pulled out the sword in his neck which cause a small burns on his hand.
Lazarus eyes stared back at Mammon and he immediately smiled.
His golden eye started to shine and a pink magic circle could be seen in his pupil. Mammon sensed the danger and tossed him but he was too late as a lance was shot from a portal that was created his eye. Stabbing Mammon in the chest and letting his gold and black blood flow out.
Lazarus moved fast as he touched lason, the priests, and Leo. Which left a starry pink mark on them all. He also transferred blood to lason to heal his injuries.
They all disappeared leaving Lazarus with Mammon and his subordinates. "What are you waiting for?! Get him!
The two men began to transformed, as their skin changed into a dull green color. Horns grew from the sides of their heads. And the bodies seemed to grow tearing through the suits.
Lazarus barely seemed to move but before the demons eyes he vanished like a flash.
Squash!
Crack!
The sound of flesh being torn and bones getting crushed could be heard as the demon looked towards his companion and saw Lazarus fists go through his face.
"What's wrong? Scared?" He asked a smile on his face as he pulled his fist out of the demon's head and rushed over to the other.
The demon tried shooting beams of concentrated miasma in Lazarus's way, but he out maneuver them and plunged his hand through the demons chest and his body was lit ablaze with the white and black flames.
Laz stared at the ashes that were on the ground and turn back to Mammon but than.
*BOOM!*
